Increased Cumulative Incidence of Prostate Malignancies in Colorectal Cancer Patients

Abstract: This preliminary report suggests that there is an association between CRC and prostate cancer. If replicated in other populations, this may have important implications for cancer screening strategies.

“…First, an excess risk of CCa has been reported in families ascertained for PCa6,18 and conversely, an excess of PCa (RR=1.3, 95% CI 1.1–1.4) has been observed in families ascertained for CCa19. Second, a study by Ozden and colleagues (2003) found a 10.7% 10-year cumulative incidence of PCa in men with a history of CCa compared to 3.8% in men without CCa39. Third, mutations in two of the mismatch repair genes ( MLH1 , MSH3 ) that are associated with predisposition to hereditary nonpolyposis colon cancer (HNPCC), have been associated with an increased relative risk of PCa40,41.…”

“…It has been reported that there was 10.7 % risk of prostate cancer in colorectal cancer patients as compared with 3.8 % in the controls (age-matched male patients with a negative colonoscopy). [50] On the other hand, some have reported that prostate cancer survivors had a 40 % lower risk of developing a second primary cancer [16]. The other possible reason was that RT of rectal cancer could cure occult prostate cancer.…”

“…Some studies showed an increased risk of prostate cancer after colorectal cancer (15)(16)(17)(18), whereas others found no association (19)(20)(21). We found that men with rectal cancer who received radiation therapy had a decreased incidence rate of subsequent prostate cancer compared with the general population (22).…”
